Emne: Re: GST
Purple: GST (Grooves Speed Team) was an online checkers team from 1999-2003. The leader was Favian Elmore (gst_favian) and consisted of very good online players, a few mediocre tournament players, and a few program players. These players played at IYT, Kurnik checkers and Yahoo! checkers. The team is dead now - I haven't seen a player with the gst subname in 2 years or more...

There are many checkers teams in kurnik checkers, and maybe some in yahoo checkers. These players don't play in BK or IYT. They are highly skilled speed players.

DMatt: "I beat the last 3 human world champions in at least one game."



I've beat Alex Moiseyev over 30 games at Kurnik.org. According to your standards, I must be a grandmaster!



You also said "I can't help it that I was good at a game that you wasted decades of
your life playing. It's a joke. It's a child's game, and you act purely
infantile if you insist that I can't play the game."



I've only been playing since 2002-2003. If checkers is a joke, then why
include yourself in the ACF website forum? Are you sure you want to be
involved in our "joke" game? hmm. If checkers is a child's game, then
why include yourslef in anything checkers related? Are you a child?



If you say you can't use a program in a 3 minute game timer in
checkers, then this is a perfect timer for us to play eachother. I am
offering you a cash match of $100 each, winner takes all, to play me at
Kurnik in a set of 10 games GAYP and 10 games (5 ballots) of 3-Move.
with the 3 minute timer. We will paypal the money to Alex Moiseyev as a
neutral money holder :) After the match, Alex will paypal the $200 to
the winner.

Emne: Re: Hi
DMatt: Alex Moiseyev once sent me a message at the ACF Forum regarding Ed Trice.



This should solve any confusion:

<span>"Concern your question about Ed Trice. I can't
tell that he is my close friend. We played very actively online back to
1997-2001. I played with WCC on Mac Banks ladder. Ed also often helped
me with WCC 10 pieces database to analyse some positions. And finally,
one time, when I visited my old son in Phili, we both came to Ed house
and spent one evening.


It was wonderful time. I met him and his family (wife and
daughter). All I can tell you - his personality is: "heavvy nurd". He
likes jokes, fooling people etc. But he is really nice person. We
played couple checkers games, and I wouldn't rate his level higher than
"very advance novice" <img>


When I played with him online at the end of 90's, it was obvious to
me, that he uses program. In fact - he tested program. So - for him it
wasn't wasting time or fooling only. But he wanted to make it more
attractive. It didn't bother me at all.




<span>Regards,



Alex
"



Trice evidently never participated in any NACA 11-man ballot event as
he once claimed. I guess he claimed his offline games were in Roberto
W.'s Games Database - but I was a member in Roberto's club and there
were no such games. Roberto also said none of the games were played by
Ed Trice and there wasn't any "NACA" event games in the Database.



So...the truth is obvious now - so the discussion should end.

Gabriel Almeida: Alex Moiseyev plays at www.kurnik.org under the name "rusms"



Many other Expert - Master - Grandmasters play there as well.



It's not mail-play like BK though - and you most likely won't get a
game timer over 3 minutes against Alex - he likes fast games online -
but many other good players play longer timers.

I read in earlier posts from last year about Ed Trice. He said Alex Moiseyev went to his house and they played some checkers. This is true. It sounds to me that Ed Trice is thought of as a Master player. That's ironic because, when I talked to Alex Moiseyev recently, he told me that Ed Trice was no better than "an advanced novice". He also had no doubt in his mind that Ed Trice used WCC in his online games at various websites - most frequently, zone.com, from 1997-2001. I guess this solves any argument of this kind from the past.

John Baker: If one side has Red and the other has Black then it's not regulation! Pogo.com checkers has these colors and has Red moving first, Black moving second. BK uses Black and White so Black moves first in Checkers here in BK. You can go to checkers settings and make this possible.

OK...let me straighten this out.

All Draughts variants except for English Checkers: White moves first. Black/Red moves first in English Checkers, then white moves.

Black/Red moves first in Anti-Checkers too.

Italian Checkers, Czech Checkers, Spanish Checkers, 10x10 checkers, Brazilian, White moves first.

Emne: Women's World 3-Move Championship
Jan Mortimer of New Zealand was the challenger vs. current title holder, Patrica Breen of Ireland. Jan Mortimer won the first game but Patricia came right back with a win in the 2nd game, it never trailed after. The final score was 6 wins for Patricia Breen, 1 win for Jan Mortimer and 8 draws.

Patrica Breen withstands the challenge is still the Womens 3-Move World Champion and in my opinion has reached grandmaster status, even compared with the men.

Jan Mortimer had just played in the Women's World GAYP Championship tournament a week earlier, which could have affected her endurance.

17 year-old Amangul Durdyeva of Turkey, current Women's GAYP World Champion, should now have the rights to challenge Patrica Breen for the 3-Move title.

Emne: 7x7 Checkers Rules
Rules for 7x7 Checkers:

Played on a 7x7 board.

Black plays first.

Same rules as English Checkers.

Played with Checkers board notation. Square #1 is on 1st row of Black's side, 2nd square from the right.

So there is 3 pieces on 1st row of both players, 4 pieces on 2nd row. 14 pieces total, 7 for each side.

24 playable squares.

The Variation defeats the chance of someone using software to aid their games...unless someone starts making one now.

The game will take more perfect moves to draw. So mistakes are less tolerable.

I've been wanting a place to play this variation and Fencer told me to post the rules here :)

Round 1 and 2 have been completed. I don't see Milan "Goldarrow" Sip's name under the Qualifying Tournament. I suppose he is just attending the Czech Checkers Championship later in the week.

Igor "sobek" Keder faced English Master, Rawle Allicock in the first round and lost one and drew the other. In Round 2 he faced fellow Czech player Jaroslav Tichy and split the two games.

Qaulifying Tournament Standings after 2 rounds:

1. Mustafa Durdyev, Turkey - 7 Points
2. Michael Holmes, USA - 6 Points
3. Jim Morrison, USA - 6 Points
4. Rawle Allicock, England - 5 Points
5. Richard Beckwith, USA - 5 Points
6. Dave Harwood, England - 5 points
7. Bagtyar Durdyev, Turkey - 5 Points
8. Thomas Canning, Ireland - 4 Points
9. Ingo Zachos, New Zealand - 4 Points
10. Igor "sobek" Keder, Czech Rep. - 3 points
11. Dennis Pawlek, Germany - 2 Points
12. Thomas Novotny, Czech Rep. - 2 Points
13. Jaroslav Tichy, Czech Rep. - 2 Points
14. Sun Thrane, Denmark - 0 Points

Jan Mortimer of New Zealand and Amangul Durdyev of Turkey are tied for 1st place in the Womens Championship with 8 points.

Lukas Valenta of Czech Rep. is leading the Youth Championship with 7 points. He defeated the favorite, Basham Durdyev both games in round 1 with dramatic fashion.

Round 3 update: Mustafa Durdyev of Turkey drew both games with Jim Morrison of USA in round 3. So If Mustafa can put up a good score against Richard Beckwith of USA there might be no catching him.

Black is up by one piece and blatantly has stronger position.

In the White Dyke opening, ( 11-15 22-17; 8-11 17-14; 9-18 23-14; 10-17 21-14;) in this position i think the 15-18 attack (instead of the popular 12-16 or 4-8 attack) for black creates a more interesting game. The mistake here for white would be 26-23 (24-19 or 24-20 is the book move). The 15-18 black attack also makes it hard for white to make the "Dyke" ( the Dyke attack in the White Dyke opening would be be white putting pieces on 14, 18 and 23. This attack is obviously trying to weaken Black's double corner.

Emne: Game
Here's a game I played a few days ago at a club.


1. 11-15 22-17 2. 8-11 17-14 3. 10x17 21x14 4. 9x18 23x14 5. 15-18 26-23
6. 6-9 24-19 7. 11-16 25-21 8. 16-20 31-26 *

The game is the White Dyke opening and I played black side side. Black has a winning move in this position. The problem is maybe above intermediate level but not advanced level.
